Blue light protection for your eyes.

Modern light sources and displays emit a disproportionately high amount of blue light. While the human body requires a certain amount of blue light to control the sleep/wake cycle, too much of the 'wrong' kind of blue light can pose a health risk and cause eye diseases. Lenses with a ZEISS DuraVision BlueProtect lens coating feature a special filter which ensures comfortable vision even when there is a high blue light portion.

In brief: what are the sources of blue light?

Blue-violet light reaches the eye in different ways. It's a component of sunlight, but is also emitted by mobile phone displays, computer monitors and televisions as well as LED and energy-saving light bulbs – at different intensities.

Also available as a self-tinting version. All-round protection in a single lens. Comfortable and reliable.

A pair of glasses for every occasion: in their self-tinting version, these lenses also function as sunglasses. They darken in seconds and clear in just a few minutes. And of course they feature 100% UV protection.

Makes working at the computer easier on your eyes.

For greater concentration, less visual stress and a clear head.

Here's one colleague you can always count on – also available with DuraVision BlueProtect: ZEISS Office Lenses are specially optimised for your computer monitor at work. They make the average working day easier on your eyes and ensure that you enjoy better vision.

Burning or overtired eyes, headaches and neck paints: frequent use of a smartphone, e-reader or tablet often results in digital eyestrain. Digital Lenses can help. They support your eyes and ensure more comfortable vision through a specially optimised near zone. Together with the DuraVision BlueProtect coating, this combination prevents eyestrain – providing you with better vision.

2. Blue light controls our biorhythm. Studies show that blue light in particular is very important for regulating the melatonin level in the human body and thus for controlling a person's sleep/wake cycle and wellbeing. That's why you should consult your optician on how to best filter out blue light.

3. Too much blue light (e.g. when reading on your tablet) and bright artificial light in the evening are not advisable because both can cause insomnia. Keep this rule of thumb in mind: in the evening, use soft light and avoid very bright light. Relax e.g. by candlelight.

4. Daylight contains a lot of blue light. According to different studies, prolonged exposure to high-energy blue light can damage the retina, increasing the risk of macular degeneration over time. The best solution: sunglass lenses with 100% UVA and UVB protection, or even self-tinting lenses from ZEISS.
